Before The Storm Photo

Photographer’s Note

This image was taken in the South East Free State. The colour in the foreground is masses of Kosmos flowers found all over the higher regions of South Africa during March/April. I liked the dramatic clouds and moody atmosphere.

Hi Ben,

Nice. Good dark clouds hanging over de meadows. I posted a similar photo yesterday that you can find here, but you have choosen to balance the light a bit more. I like that in your picture. Some animals in it... I like it!

Greetings, Dennis

The combination of sunlit landscape and the angry looking sky gives this shot a lot of atmosphere and impact.
Croppinng along the bottom a bit closer to the flowers would improve it further, I think, but other than that this is a good piece of work.

Cheers,
Ben
